Preflop call is only if I think I can get most (if not all) of his stack if I hit a good flop, you should consider reading supersystem if you want to learn a little more about SCs value :P

You should reread it. This only works provided you dump your hand when the flop misses (like it did here).

So you should never try to steal the pots when checked to, just because you happen to have SCs?

I have no problem with the steal attempt, only with calling a raise when you are caught on a stone cold bluff. If he would have pushed after the raise then we would have soemthing interesting to discuss [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

another question besides calling minraises is, is it actually more profitable to get into more hands at 50NL because of the many post-flop mistakes that your opponents will be making? My mistake of calling his check-raise after the flop was overshadowed by the free money he gave me on the turn, allowing me to get paid off on the river when I mad my hand. Getting free cards like this is no reason to go crazy with hands like 62s, but raising or re-raising occassionaly with some suited connector hands will afford you the opportunity for free cards, or will also allow you to steal many pots after the flop if you have good position. Sometimes, if you are OOP, but that move carries a lot more risk with it. Are these assumptions wrong? Or is playing ABC a lot better
